A section about interesting people, events and issues in our community.

ENGAGEThey say strange things happen out in

the country. Crazed moonshiners.Bizarre rituals. Crop circles.

Livestock cloning experiments gonehideously wrong. The Dukes of Hazzard.

It is in the country – Surrey’s version of itanyway, up yonder near Highway 1 – whereyou’ll find the home of Jack Lee.

Lee’s spread is like any other in theneighbourhood. Rural, lots of naturally-treed land, a solid house with a wrap-around porch. It’s a vision of old schoolnormalcy. Surely there’s nothing unusualgoing on in these here parts, right? Right?

Wrong.Listen and you will hear it. Quiet at first,

it will gather steam like a runaway chainsaw.It’s curiously out of place and at first a bitfrightening. Yet, like Poltergeist’s closet light,it’s also beautiful and somehow comforting.

Suddenly it dawns on you. As weird as itseems out here in Green Acres, this is mostdefinitely the sound of...bagpipes.

Not any old bagpipes either, but pitch-perfect, magically manipulated bagpipes.Indeed, if Eddie Van Halen were a piper,that might be him you see standing inthe backyard of the house with the wrap-around porch.

But it isn’t. It’s Jack Lee.Welcome to the unique world of a man

widely considered to be one of the very bestpipers in the world.

Born 56 years ago in Manitoba andraised from the age of two in B.C., Lee is aproud Canuck and a lover of the off-the-beaten-path lifestyle he’s always known.His carpentry skills played a big role in thehome he shares with his wife and family.But deep inside burns a fire that catapultedhim onto the world stage more than 30years ago and keeps him there today.

“It (piping) has been in the family sinceI was a kid,” he says, freely admitting thatit’s crazily unusual for a young boy twogenerations removed from Scotland tobecome so entrenched in such a Scot-centric tradition.

Lee credits his great grandfather forbringing piping across the sea when heimmigrated so many years ago, and hisgrandmother for keeping the faith eventhough she grew up in an era when it“wasn’t cool” for a woman to be a piper.

“I took an immediate love for thebagpipes when I was young, and I alwayswanted to be a piper. Probably what’s kept

Deep inside Surrey’s Jack Lee burns a firethat keeps catapulting him onto the world stage

Bagpipesare in his blood

me going all these years is that I’ve never,ever lost the love for the instrument andthe music.”

Lee started playing at the age of four,blowing the heck out of a mini bagpipe(a tiny instrument that looks like a flute),and hasn’t stopped since. Give him a sparemoment, and chances are he’d find his wayto the bagpipes.

As a young man, he was alreadyinternationally recognized. In his mid-20s, he was competing at the top levels ofthe game. And 30 years ago, he won theprestigious Gold Medal at a competition inInverness, Scotland.

That, explains Lee, opened the doorto the numerous titles and awards he’sclaimed since. Competitive piping is notunlike UK soccer with its various divisions.

“It’s very hierarchal, and there are lots oflevels. You have to win your way up.”

With the Gold Medal in his grasp, Leewas where he needed to be. Twice he’swon the Gold Clasp. Twice he’s won theSenior Piobaireachd. He’s taken the GilliesCup, the Masters Invitational, and theGlenfiddich Overall Championship. Thelist goes on and on.

Most recently – in November – he wonhis third Bratach Gorm (the highest prizegiven by the Scottish Piping Society ofLondon), competing most often againstmuch younger players.

He does, however, have a secretweapon. Lee owns a dozen sets of pipes,but reserves his tweaked “MacDougalls,”originally built in 1880, for the big timecompetitions.

“It’s all about the wood,” he explains.Along the way, Lee, along with brother

Terry, found time to establish the SFU PipeBand, which has gone on to win six worldchampionships and record eleven CDs.

He’s also an accomplished instructor,flying out the day after our interview for asession in Las Vegas and planning trips toNew Zealand, Kansas City and Hawaii inJanuary.

That his three sons (Andrew, Colinand John) also teach piping, and that thefour of them run a business designingand manufacturing custom bagpipe partssomehow does not come as a surprise.

“I consider myself to be one of the mostfortunate people in the world, making aliving playing and teaching the bagpipes.”

SURREY — A local couplesnagged $1 million on ChristmasEve while running some errands.

Jordan Risi and his fiancée,Sasha, had nearly forgottenabout their Dec. 24 Lotto6/49 draw, which included asuper draw of five $1 millionguaranteed prizes, but decidedto pull over and check theirticket at a local Chevron.

“I was actually pretty calm,” recalled Risi.“My heart rate may have gone up a little bit,but I wasn’t sure if this was real.”

Risi and his fiancéeimmediately drove to the next gasstation where they re-checked theticket and confirmed the win.

“We had one day this weekendto ourselves, so we could let thewin sink in,” said Risi. “It was agood time to contemplate whatthe money will go towards.”

Risi is planning to use some ofthe money towards the couple’s

Hawaiian wedding in the New Year. Otherplans include paying off their mortgage.

SOUTH SURREY — If you wantedthe experience of skating outsideunder an azure sky, you had a limitedwindow of opportunity on one Surreyfarm last week.

A recent cold snap in the LowerMainland froze over many of theflooded fields in the Fraser Valley, andone farmer decided to take advantageby opening up skating to the public.

Jas Singh of God’s Little Acre Farmallowed people to come last yearduring a five-day cold snap which sawup to 3,500 skaters, but until recentlythe weather had been too warm.

“This year was literally impossible,”he said as he hauled chairs to the edgeof the pond. “I mean, two days agoit was a duck pond here, there was athousand ducks in that pond. But whathappened was we got that one day coldsnap where it froze everything. Andnow with then minor cold going intominus three or four it’ll hold it there.”

Since opening again to the publicword has travelled fast. There’s been

between 600 and 700 people visit thefarm in two days alone.

“I might be 49 years old but I’m akid so I just like watching the kids outthere skating and watching the parentsinteract with them. And it’s a great wayto bring the kids to the farm and toexpose them to farming so that’s whatwe’re doing here.”

Singh had hot chocolate for sale

and skates for rent with admissionby donation, the proceeds of whichis a target goal of producing 150,000pounds of charity crops to bedistributed to soup kitchens andindividuals in need.

IS A HAPPY SMILE

The Editor,We are a small townhouse strata in

Surrey that is being steamrolled by ourSurrey First city council.

There is a proposed new developmentbordering two sides of our complex.We have sent letters, emails and madephone calls from the strata executive andseveral individual homeowners over thepast six months asking for a meeting.What response have we received fromanyone from Surrey First?

Nothing. Complete silence.I attended a council meeting in

December when the issue was beingdealt with. The council chambers havenot been designed to be inviting andfriendly.

They do, however remind one of aQueen and her court sitting on high

over their subjects. It is from herethat Surrey First can bestow on theirdeveloper benefactors all that they seekover any objections of regular citizens.

The developer requests to:❚ Confiscate our only road so the

developer doesn’t have to build one.❚ Change zoning.❚ Reduce set backs.❚ Increase density.❚ Cut 75 per cent of the trees that

separate our properties.❚ Allow developer signage on our

property.What’s the point of having building

standards if city council is going to givethe developer exemptions for whateverthey seek? Now that’s open transparencyfor you – as long as you are a developerand not merely a taxpayer.

Surrey First is probably too busy withits grandiose plans for hiking taxes andimplementing levies for them to want totalk to us regular people.

Who knew extra police and a fancycity hall cost money? It appears thathiking taxes and levies over the lastnine years is too slow for Mayor Hepnerand her court so we need to increasespending 20 per cent plus in 2015 tocatch up to the other overspendingmunicipalities.

Perhaps someone from Surrey Firstcould let us little people know the cost ofgaining an audience with the Queen andher Court. I suspect she would prefer wejust shut up and keep paying for theirgrandiose vision.

Your view

There will be much rending of garments andgnashing of teeth but the decision to goahead with the Site C hydroelectric dam

project is the right one.As Now columnist Keith Baldrey points out in

today’s issue (see page 7), you’re going to be hearinga lot about Site C in 2015.

In a perfect world, the idea of flooding more than5,000 acres of arable land to generate electricitywould be incomprehensible. Many would suggestthat any environmental assessors who could havegiven their stamp of approval to such a projectshould be made to work in a windowless office in ablock of concrete for the rest of their lives.

The provincial leaders who followed theenvironmental approvals by giving the project thego-ahead will certainly pay a political price fromsome quarters.

We empathize with the First Nations who willsee sacred lands drowned beneath cubic miles ofwater… if their court challenges are unsuccessful,and that certainly remains to be seen.

Likewise, farmers who will see their livelihoodshift as their farms – currently significantagricultural attributes in a province which iscomprised of only four per cent arable land – areflooded and rendered useless.

Going ahead with Site C is not a great decision.But it is the best decision, not just from theviewpoint of the obvious economic benefits,but whether we wish to admit it or not, from anenvironmental position – which is surely what theassessors and politicians had in mind.

We live in a society that gobbles energy, andunless we decide to reduce our consumption, ourenvironmentally sound options are limited. Wind,wave, and sunlight, despite great recent advances,remain too expensive. Too many people are tooafraid of nuclear power. We’re not convinced LNGis more than a pipe dream. And coal and oil are toodirty and too dangerous.

Hydroelectricity isn’t perfect, but it’s relativelyclean and valuable. And it’s the best we have.

Glacier Media

Council deaf and blind to regular citizens


DEBATE

If you’re like me, you are probablytired of reading or watching allthose lists of the Top 10 news

stories from the past year. Yes, yes, Iknow: the teachers’ labour dispute wasa big story but do we need to be toldthat again and again?

Instead of looking back, let’s lookforward and try to figure out whichstories we’re all going to be talkingabout so much in the coming year.

There will be unpredictable events,of course, that will garner a lot ofheadline coverage: major crimes,political controversies, spectacularaccidents, cute animals that go missing(really) and the like.

But some big events in the politicalarena are predictable and are sittingright there on the horizon, justwaiting to take over the water coolerconversation.

I can think of several separate,distinct events or issues that will geta lot of news coverage in the comingyear and all of which have a directimpact on the lives of most BritishColumbians. Get ready to read andhear a lot about these in 2015:

THE TRANSIT PLEBISCITEBy the time you get your mail-in

plebiscite ballot, you won’t be ableto look at so much as a transit buswithout thinking about expensivetransportation projects and how theyshould be paid for. That’s because youare about to be inundated with allkinds of information (from stories innewspapers, radio and television, topamphlets and advertising) expressingsupport for both sides of the plebiscitequestion.

Those advocating the “yes” answerto whether the sales tax should beboosted a half point will be just asaggressive – and loud, and non-stop– as those pushing the “no” responseto the proposed tax hike. You won’t beable to turn on a television newscast,radio or open a newspaper withoutrunning smack into people like PortCoquitlam Mayor Greg Moore (anardent “yes” advocate) and JordanBateman of the Canadian TaxpayersFederation, making their pitches, overand over again.

THE FEDERAL ELECTIONThe federal vote may not be until the

fall but the campaign is now startingin earnest. The Conservatives havebegun running new ads featuringPrime Minister Stephen Harper, andwill continue to run ads that attackand mock federal Liberal leader JustinTrudeau (and the federal governmentwill continue to air ads praising itseconomic policies, with taxpayersfooting the bill for them for much ofthe year).

All parties are well into their ridingnomination processes and candidatesshould start filling those positionsin increasingly large numbers inthe weeks ahead. The three mainparty leaders will step up their travelschedules – look for all three to makemore and more swings through B.C.,which has six extra seats up for grabsthis time around – as their pace willbecome frenetic.

The latest polls suggest Harper andthe Conservatives are hanging ontotheir base, while the Liberals havemade an impressive recovery with thevoters, and the NDP has slipped backinto its traditional territory of thedistant third place.

But polls can be wrong, of course(hello the 2013 B.C. provincialelection). Still, don’t count Harper out:his base, being older, is more likely to

actually vote than those of his chiefopponents.

PIPELINE PROTESTSYou didn’t seriously think these

were over because the one on BurnabyMountain ended? Come on, we’re justgetting started here folks.

A great divide is beginning to takehold in this country and it’s going toplay out in B.C. like nowhere else inthe country. That divide is over energypolicies, as a vocal minority wants toend all oil shipments from Alberta’svast oil sands project.

SITE C DAM CONSTRUCTIONB.C. Hydro says it is aiming to begin

construction in July. But that seemsoptimistic at best, given how manylegal challenges against the dam havebeen filed, with more on the way.

All four of these issues are linkedby the fact that all of them containsome element of political protesting,which is fitting, given that protestingis almost a British Columbian’sbirthright.

And you’re going to see a lot of it thisyear, whether it’s targeted at a transittax hike, an oil pipeline or a federalpolitical party or a hydroelectric dam.

DEBATE

The Editor,Re: “Transit ‘yes’ vote would be groundbreaking,” the Now,

Dec. 16.Why would any rational, thinking individual vote “yes” in

the upcoming funding referendum?Ask yourselves this – is TransLink not the same body that

mismanaged the issuing of tickets for fare violators knowingthey could not collect them? What about the fare gate andCompass card debacles?

And what about the exorbitant salaries, bonuses andperks of senior management, rivalling – if not surpassing

– those available in the private sector? Would they still havejobs in the private sector?

When will we learn the only real source of governmentrevenue comes from the power of taxation? (That meanstaxpayers like you and me.)

So send yet another message to governments at all levelswho continue to spend the dollars they take away from us asthough they were their own. Vote “no” on the referendum.

It is time to go back to the drawing board.

Bob Davies, Surrey

Surrey’s measly tree fee fordevelopers should be doubledThe Editor,

Many Surrey homeowners have experienced the hassleand expense of trying to convince the city to allow them toget rid of a problem tree on their property.

Ironically, developers in this city customarily create somany new lots on the properties they’re subdividing thatthere’s often no room for existing trees, which are thenchainsawed into firewood after the city is paid a modest$300 fee for every tree that isn’t replaced with one or moresaplings.

Keep in mind that 20 per cent of Surrey’s maturecanopy trees have disappeared since 2001 and many, ifnot most, of the saplings planted to replace them in urbanneighbourhoods won’t survive the decades it takes to reachmaturity.

Metro Toronto claims it costs at least $583 to replant andmaintain a new tree for two years, which is what they chargedevelopers.

Surrey should at the very least double their current feesto encourage developers to follow sustainable developmentpractises by leaving room for more mature trees in theirsubdivisions instead of clear-cutting them.

Karma will find its way toperson who stole doll clothingThe Editor,

Happy New Year to all – except the person who decidedto take doll clothing from our store. So you must have feltgood when the little girl opened up the doll clothing andthanked you with a big smile.

Do you feel guilty? Do you feel any remorse? I certainlyhope so, for the sake of the innocent little girl who receivedthe gift with thoughts of how much you love her.

CLAYTON HEIGHTS — SurreyMounties hope the threat of fines willchase off a man named Jason who has beenbothering Clayton residents by knocking ondoors at all hours and “making excuses” thatare intended to separate the residents fromtheir money.

“We have a zero-tolerance approach onhim,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. “We are awareof this individual and he is aware of us.

“He makes up stories we don’t believe aretrue to get money. Apparently it’s happeningall times of the day and night.

“We want him to stop for sure.”Paquet said police are not releasing the

man’s last name because “he hasn’t beencharged with any criminal offence.”

He said Jason was fined $115 under theSafe Street Act on Dec. 29.

The fine came after police received yetanother complaint shortly after giving him alengthy talking-to just the day before.

“The talk didn’t work but apparently thefine did,” Paquet said.

“We advised him any time we get areport of him displaying the same kind ofbehaviour he will be charged.”

Paquet said it’s not known if he has aSurrey address. His intrusions, he said, seemto be limited to the Clayton area.

If he comes knocking, Paquet advises,“just don’t answer, don’t engage with himand call the police if he approaches you.

“Tell him through the door you’vecontacted police. He knows we’re keepingour eye on him.”

SURREY — Surrey’s New Year’s babymade his debut to the world just an hourand a half into 2015.

The boy, who was born at 1:27 a.m. onThursday morning, was born to Jaswaland Jaspal Minhas at Surrey MemorialHospital. That came after the first NewYear’s baby in the province was born toDarlene Henley at White Rock’s Peace ArchHospital five seconds after midnight.

On Monday, Jaswal said the couple hadnot yet named the baby and when the Nowcame to visit the family at the hospital, shewas running on just one hour of sleep.

“I was just at SMH for a blood test. I hada little protein running in my blood and

so I was just here for monitoring him,” themother said, although she knew she wasdue to give birth on Jan. 1.

“They decided that even if they inducedme for labour it might take a little while,”she told the Now, revealing that she had acaesarian.

“It’s true that I didn’t know it was goingto happen, but when the doctor was hereand was giving me a check up in themorning, he jokingly just said ‘Oh youmight be the first one to have a New Year’sbaby.’ When he came and did the surgeryI said, ‘You weren’t joking, you plannedthat!’”

The boy is now a brother to the Minhas’daughter, Sehja, who is five-years-old.

“She (Sehja) came yesterday afternoon,she was so excited. She was already

obsessed about him; not letting him touch,even when the nurse came to give him abath, she was kind of scared that she mighthurt him, (asking) ‘Why is she giving hima bath with cold water? Why is she giving abath with the hot water?’”

Dad Jaspal said it was comical that theirdaughter was so excited, too.

“She was really happy, she wanted tohold him, she then came and sat on thechair and she wanted to hold him on herlap,” he said.

The couple said they did not know theywould be having a boy, and as of yet, arenot planning for a third child.

“That’s our little story, and actually itwas quite funny for us,” Jaswal said with alaugh.

SURREY — Mayor Linda Hepner heldan impromptu press conference on Dec. 29to update the public about crime in the cityand to offer her condolences to families wholost their loved ones to murder.

In between fits of coughing from a coldthe mayor spoke about the anniversary ofthe murder of “hockey mom” Julie Paskalloutside of a Newton arena last Dec. 29.

She called the unprovoked and randomattack “tragic,” and had similar sentimentsfor the three young people murdered inSurrey this December – Teagan Batstone, 8,Dario Bartoli, 15, and Jaylen Sandhu, 17.

“I was heartbroken for the familiesand it’s tragic whenever a young personloses their life,” she said, adding she hasenormous sympathy for parents who havelost a child.

“I’m a mom and I’m a grandmother andI can tell you right now that is not a cross…that is such a heavy burden I cannot imaginehow you deal with it. I really cannot.”

Hepner said she has reached outpersonally to some of the families impactedby recent murders, but said those actionswere conducted as part of her private lifeand refused to go into detail.

“There are some things I do that areprivate and I don’t make them public and Idon’t intend on making them public.”

The mayor has taken some heat on socialmedia in December for a perceived lackof empathy by not expressing her feelingsabout the murders. But Hepner said that thepeople criticizing her on social media aredoing so because of political reasons.

“They’re still trying to have an election.”Hepner provided an update on the 100

police officers she promised over the first 24months of being elected to office. Of the 30officers already approved in a $21-millionplan to hire 52 new members from theRCMP, she said 15 have arrived in the city,with the rest due by the end of March.

The plan is to have 80 additional bootson the ground for neighbourhood policingin the next two years, though that quotawill largely depend on availability from theRCMP.

Hepner also talked about the city’s

problem with recovery and halfway houses,noting 114 have been shut down in 2014alone.

“The problem with that is when theyshut them down in one place they springup somewhere else, so it’s a continuum oftrying to know where they are,” she said,adding 24 are currently before the courts.

The mayor said in the new year, councilwill look into what measures localgovernment can take to assess whichrecovery homes are doing a good job andwhich are in need of being shut down.

“Because some of the unlicensed onesthat are run by the theology groups, theyactually are doing a good job.”

Following up on a campaign promise,Hepner touched on the need to providemore services and programs in the cityfor mental health and addictions, noting asignificant portion of time is taken up bypolice officers dealing with people who havemental health issues.

“We saw recent evidence of that with theTransit Police shooting,” she said, referringto the shooting death of a man at a SurreySafeway. Hepner said she can be a strongadvocate for more mental health programsand funding but ultimately it will requirefinancial assistance from higher levels ofgovernment.

“Whatever we can do at the local levelI’m prepared to look at but we do need asignificant partner at the provincial level.”

SURREY — A retired Air Canadapilot who ran an animal rescueoperation out of Surrey will besentenced next month after pleadingguilty to two counts of break-and-enter and two counts of theft relatedto her “rescuing” dogs she consideredto be mistreated out of their owners’yards.

Janet Olson, 61, appeared inSurrey provincial court for a daylongsentencing hearing Friday before JudgeMelissa Gillespie.

Originally facing 38 charges relatedto alleged incidents throughout theLower Mainland, Olson pleadedguilty to the four crimes and will besentenced Feb. 24.

Crown prosecutor Michelle Wrayargued for a conditional sentence,or house arrest, for 12 to 18 monthswhile defence lawyer Craig Sicottemaintained house arrest is notnecessary but held out communityservice as an option.

Olson delivered a lengthy and tearystatement to the judge, saying shedidn’t start out in dog rescue with anyintent of stealing abused dogs, but

grew frustrated by the SPCA’s “failure”to protect the animals from neglect.

“If freezing and starving dogs neardeath do not warrant the SPCA’sprotection, what animal I wonderdoes?” she told the court. “Compassionhas been the sole motivation for all myrescue work,” she added.

Olson, who operated Surrey-basedA Better Life Dog Rescue and sunkplenty of her own money into it, alsoquoted Martin Luther King Jr.

“He who passively accepts evil is asmuch involved in it as he who helps toperpetrate it,” she quoted.

Olson asked the judge to considerthe harm, distress and stress she’sbeen through over the past three years

following her arrest. She’s already beenin jail for six days, which she describedas the worst six days of her life. Shesaid she also received death threats,had to sell her house to pay her legalfees and had to take early retirementfrom Air Canada, where she worked asa pilot flying from Vancouver to placeslike Hong Hong and London.

“Animals suffer every bit as muchas we do,” she told reporters outsidethe courthouse. “Pain, loneliness,boredom, neglect, torment. It is sorampant in this country because wehave some of the weakest animalcruelty laws in the world, far behindeven some third world countries.”

The Crown characterized her as avigilante.

“My defence is I am notintentionally breaking the law, I amintentionally enforcing it,” Olson said.

“A vigilante means a person whotakes the law into their own hands, andI don’t dispute that I am a vigilante,if that’s the definition, because I havetaken the law into my own handsbecause no one else is taking that lawinto their own hands.”

“I broke the law,” she said, “but I didnot do anything wrong.”

No offence to Cheryl Strayed, buthiking the Pacific Crest Trail is astroll compared to the epic journey

a pair of men – one of them a former Surreyresident – are poised to finish tomorrow.

Strayed has been in the spotlight for herhike, detailed in Wild, the movie adaptationof her bestselling book. But Jake Alleyne andLiam Harrap’s 5,500-kilometre hike of theContinental Divide Trail is, frankly, far moreimpressive.

The former University of B.C. students,both 25, set out from their front doors inJasper for the Mexican border on April 25and detailed much of the journey on theirwebsite, adoorstepadventure.com.

Last Tuesday night, more than eightmonths into their journey along thedrainage divide of North America, theywere in Deming, New Mexico, some 55kilometres from the Mexican border andtheir finish line.

“It’s very exciting and daunting,” saidHarrap, reached Tuesday night. “I justrealized a few days ago while hiking thatthere’s only a few days left and you don’thave to get up and hike 50 kilometres everyday. It’s the end of walking. I still can’tcomprehend it.”

Alleyne, a former Surrey resident,said the transition to life off the trail feltintimidating. Exciting, but intimidating.

Of the thousands of kilometres the paircovered, some 400 were skied and about 120were snowshoed. The rest was hiked. Whenthey took a side trip, they returned to the

exact point they had left.When the pair left Jasper, it was still

snowing. Liam’s 42-kilogram pack andJake’s 48-kg pack were laden with skiequipment and snowshoes. After skiingthe Great Divide Traverse – an adventurein its own right – they cast aside their skis,donned their walking shoes and slowedthings down considerably.

They hiked through a brief spring and along summer. By late October they reachedtheir halfway point and in November theyscaled Colorado’s Mount Elbert – thehighest point in their journey – after 201days. During their trip they climbed 100mountains, some of which required ropesand crampons, said Harrap.

Fall and winter brought with them daysof hiking through snow. By those latemonths, most of the other hikers had gone.In the 2,000 kilometres from Montana intoColorado, they didn’t see another personalong the trail.

Even when they did meet people along theway, they sometimes kept a bit of distancefor the sake of courtesy. They got prettydirty and they smelled pretty bad, the pairconfessed on their website.

Harrap quickly became known by histrail name, “Muppet,” given his Animal-likehairdo and beard. Alleyne was known as“Ducky,” a moniker given to him for hisapparent tendency to waddle from timeto time, according to an account on theirwebsite.

The pair, who had been friends sinceelementary school, faced some challengesalong the way. They hitchhiked from outsidea prison in Canon City, Colorado. They ate ahalf-eaten banana that had been thrown outthe window by a car during a blizzard, andthey got lost from time to time, sometimesin the snow. Of course there were alsoblisters.

“Just yesterday I got these two bad blisterson each foot,” said Alleyne. “We’ve been out

here 250 days, so to get these on the second-last day, it’s like, ‘Really? Haven’t I gottenover this?’ ”

The Continental Divide is a difficult placeto find water – even standing water. Theysometimes walked more than 25 kilometresbefore finding a source, leading them tocollect water wherever they could find it– even in a cattle trough on one unlucky day.

But they experienced some luxury alongthe trail as well. There was the Krispy Kremedoughnut burger, some natural hot springs,the odd backcountry hiking hut to protectthem from the cold and a complimentarystay in a luxury cabin with some CrownRoyal to take away the chill. Then therewas the bath in Yellowstone National Park– their first in six months.

At last they came to their destinationstate, New Mexico.

“Thinking back to the start, it doesn’tseem like the same trip. It doesn’t seem likethe same year,” said Alleyne. “The lengthwe’ve been out here it’s ... surreal to thinkabout.”

Both hikers’ parents came to visit theirsons at various points along the trail, andHarrap’s father was expecting to meet themat the finish. The boys bought a bottle ofchampagne to celebrate.

When they return home, the two willwork for a company that runs heli-skilodges. But first, there’s a cruise, somethingHarrap has wanted to do for years.

“I think I’ll be content to do nothing fora couple days,” he said. “At least now I won’tfeel that guilty for stuffing myself.”

As for the bushy facial hair, cometomorrow night, one man will be free toshave, while the other – whoever is losing intheir ongoing cribbage tournament – willbe forced to wear a moustache for a timeperiod equal to their time on the trail.

So far Harrap is in the lead, but only bytwo games.

“I’m not asking to play,” he said, addingthat he hoped Alleyne would forget untilafter they’d reached the finish line.

SURREY — A retired Air Canada pilotwho ran an animal rescue operation out ofSurrey will be sentenced next month afterpleading guilty to two counts of break-and-enter and two counts of theft relatedto her “rescuing” dogs she considered to bemistreated out of their owners’ yards.

Janet Olson, 61, appeared in Surreyprovincial court for a daylong sentencinghearing Friday before Judge MelissaGillespie.

Originally facing 38 charges related toalleged incidents throughout the LowerMainland, Olson pleaded guilty to the fourcrimes and will be sentenced Feb. 24.

Crown prosecutor Michelle Wray arguedfor a conditional sentence, or house arrest,for 12 to 18 months while defence lawyerCraig Sicotte held out community service asan option.

Olson delivered a lengthy and tearystatement to the judge, saying she didn’tstart out in dog rescue with any intent of

stealing abused dogs, but grew frustrated bythe SPCA’s “failure” to protect the animalsfrom neglect.

“If freezing and starving dogs near deathdo not warrant the SPCA’s protection, whatanimal I wonder does?” she told the court.“Compassion has been the sole motivationfor all my rescue work,” she added.

Olson, operated Surrey-based A BetterLife Dog Rescue, sinking plenty of her ownmoney into it.

She asked the judge to consider the harm,distress and stress she’s been through overthe past three years following her arrest.She’s already been in jail for six days, whichshe described as the worst six days of herlife. She said she also received death threats,had to sell her house to pay her legal fees,and had to take early retirement from AirCanada, where she worked as a pilot flyingfrom Vancouver to places like Hong Hongand London.

The Crown said she was a vigilante.““I broke the law,” Olson said, “but I did

not do anything wrong.”[email protected]

Retired pilot says ‘rescuing’dogs was right thing to do
